Spicy Thai Beef Salad
Ingredients:
500g beef sirloin, thinly sliced
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp sugar
1 red chili, thinly sliced
1 cucumber, sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
Fresh mint leaves
Fresh cilantro leaves
1 head of lettuce, leaves separated
Instructions:
Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and thinly sliced red chili. Add the thinly sliced beef and marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Cook the Beef: Heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and cook in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, red onion, mint leaves, and cilantro leaves. Add the cooked beef and toss gently to combine.
Serve: Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter and spoon the beef salad onto the lettuce leaves. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges for squeezing.
